Thank you to today's sponsor north one link in the description down below hey everyone meet kevin here i have a thesis about this market and this is somewhat speculative, but it could end up proving to be right and you might be able to make a lot of Money with this strategy or you'll just lose lots of money. I have no idea, but it is a strategy that i'm going to be focusing on heavily, especially if this rotation continues of positivity coming back to the markets, no guarantees, of course, that the the double top isn't in and that we're not crashing back down. No guarantees of that we had a little bit of a green day today, okay great, but that doesn't mean the santa claus rally is here to stay. I hope it is.

I really believe that our economy is extremely strong. Our companies are extremely efficient in america. The american economy is going to grow at the strongest pace that we've seen uh since, since you know, prior to the pandemic or relative to prior to the pandemic, i think we're gon na grow at a phenomenal pace in 2022, even without stimulus we're not going to Grow as much as we did in 2021, but we're going to have growth, we've got extremely efficient companies, we're going to see a lot of innovation for the next coming decade. I do think that the element of this frugal decade - a concept i talked a lot about uh sort of towards the beginning of the pandemic - is something that could end up becoming true.

I think the last year, we've kind of all been just spending money, but now it's gon na be a little harder to keep that money flow going like it has just not gon na be as easy. It's gon na take a little more effort and might get a little burned out trying to grind for some more money, and i think spending is going to potentially decline relative to 2021. But i think we'll still be on a nice path of returning to uh. Prior to pandemic levels with that said, i'm optimistic about the market, i'm in this market, but there is a cat and mouse trade that i believe could potentially be happening right now now without sharing uh, this particular source that i have because then i'll get in trouble.

It's worth noting that there are companies and i have a subscription to this company. There are companies that provide data to hedge funds, and this is not the bloomberg terminal. It's a different one. It's a different subscription that costs actually more than the bloomberg terminal cost me and what it does is it provides hedge funds and institutions the suits with inside data, about specifically what retail investors are buying.

So i'm going to give you a quick example of what it is that i look at uh by drawing it myself, because then i can't get in trouble. Okay, so i might be able to go. Look at uh amc, let's say: okay, so i go look at amc and i could see you know all this crazy activity of volume back in you know, february and march or whatever after the game, stop all the madness right. When, when prices go in the moon, then you see this massive lull up until recently towards the end of november, when amc started falling and all of a sudden, you start seeing these spikes of like retail activity like in the summer, we actually went negative with retail Activity on amc, just as an example, but i can see the same things on other stocks as well.

I'm gon na give you a good example here. First, a quick message from our sponsor north one is the perfect tool for small business owners and entrepreneurs. Why? Because north one is a mobile business, banking, app built specifically for small businesses, their app gives you access to many and plenty of features. So you can manage your money from anywhere.

This means you can effectively manage your businesses finances with tools like mobile check, deposit cash withdrawals and the ability to send and receive ach and wire payments. All of these features mean you never have to go into a bank branch. Again, i hate going into a bank branch to send wires. It is the worst if you could do it online or ach's online.

Thank you for north one, making that easier. It also integrates with popular accounting softwares to help save you hours of manual bookkeeping. It's worth noting that north one is currently offering all of my viewers ten dollars when you open and fund a new account for a limited time only. It only takes three minutes to sign up.

So if you want to get your free ten dollars and check out these small business features over at north one, please do so in the link down below in the description get that ten dollars get that deal and take your business banking to the next level uh. It is corsair, okay, corsair or lemonade, or shift there's something really weird that when these stocks first uh you know really got talked about in social media, they had their social media spikes of retail activity, then that sort of died. The companies had their first declines. So, like larger decline, so like lemonade going from 80 to 65 uh to 65, you saw a big spike shift going from 750 to like 650 big spike corsair going like under 28.

Oh, my gosh big spike for corsair, and so you saw this sort of retail spike as people are buying the dip. But what's really crazy about almost all of these companies, and they have something really unique in common - is that the retail buying activity has kind of done this. It's tapered off it's kind of died. So when i go into these charts, i'm like man, retail, just ain't, buying the dip on these anymore and it kind of makes sense because we're not really hitting a floor, i mean corsair.

Maybe we just finally hit a floor. Maybe at twenty dollars we hit a floor on corsair shift technologies. I mean i'm glad i'm out of it uh, because this has been a crisis here, but there's no clear floor here. Yet lemonade maybe has its floor at forty dollars, like maybe we're finally bouncing off of 40 a little bit right, but there's something really unique that all of these stocks have in common okay, and - and this is what you want to write down, because i think this Is really critical and i'm going to give you some examples and i and i'm going to do what? What i'm calling this strategy? Okay, uh and there's still more work to do.

There's more research to do on this, and i think it really depends on before we get really excited about the strategy. It's going to depend on how the market reacts, because if we have a red day uh on on wednesday uh red day on thursday, then there's no santa claus rally grid. But this could change very very quickly. So i might reference the santa claus rally and go.

Okay, like this might be time to go. Obviously, as always, if you want to follow every single move, i make check out the stocks and psychology of money group. I post every move that i make and do keep in mind. There is a coupon code for all the programs that you can even bundle up for the new program.

We have coming out the path to building your wealth that does expire on the evening of christmas day, so saturday, uh, expiration and the evening of christmas day. Okay, so uh. What we have here are two things that we want to watch. The first thing that we want to watch is low retail activity, but it's not just that folks, it's not just that.

You want to combine low retail activity or potentially low overall volume. You want to combine this with high short interest. Okay. Why? Because there's a cat and mouse game, and that's the name, i'm calling this i'm calling this the cat and mouse game.

Okay, the cat and mouse game is you've, got the hedges going. Okay, we've got an uncertain market. What are we going to do well, they're hedges. What do they do? They're going to hedge hedge means they're going to short, but what are they going to short? Is it better to short a company that has a lot of retail activity or is it better to short a company that has little retail activity think about that for a moment? So would it be better and then we're gon na we're gon na try to prove this here? Okay, would it be better? Just logically, if you were a hedge fund, would you rather short a company like lucid or rivien, which, when they run, they run like 10 to 15 percent in a day? Would you rather short a company like that, or would you rather short a company like corsair, that seems to just be magnetically stuck at twenty dollars? Twenty one dollars? Okay, whatever! So if the market falls, these small caps get beat up more, but they don't really have that retail army going by the dip down and hang yo right.

That's dangerous! That's how the hedges get screwed, and so the hedges learned that with gamestop and amc that, if you're going to short short where the retail buyers are not, and so ironically the hedges, maybe unironically, i suppose, uh well, whatever the hedges are monitoring the retail buyers activity To make sure they're not getting short squeezed, it's not just this one, app that i'm using jp morgan also and the app's like three thousand dollars a month. Okay, it's not worth pitching it uh, because i i mean whatever. But the point is watch for this because the hedgies are using programs like this and jp morgan's using stuff like this. They even have their own software like this, and what they're trying to do is prevent in shorting companies that have these sudden retail explosions and again rivie and lucid.

If my theory is correct, rivian and lucid, they might have a high or short interest, but they're not going to have as high of a short interest as the companies that also have low retail activity. That is the key that is the magic to this okay. So, let's test this together live and i have a list, but i'm going to give you the most up-to-date numbers with you right here, so we're going to go to this program here. This program is the s3 partners short interest database, and what i'm going to do is i'm going to look at the lucid short interest and you'll see.

The short interest is sitting at about 12.1 percent. Okay, so there's some short interest: that's okay! I've shorted lucid too, because we knew uh. It was likely to go down same thing with rivian. I made money shorting loose and riveting.

That's fine, short-term trades. Rivian is only 3.9 percent short relatively low short higher retail interest, and that is that's a critical key to pay attention to higher retail interest. Yeah. Okay, okay, we're going to be a little more careful with the shorts.

Where are they going then? Well again, let's look and prove the theory. Let's look at companies like lemonade, corsair and shift okay. So here we go shift. Let's hit enter fallen out of a little bit of retail favor, lately 25.26 short, and it's like it's at bottoms, look at corsair.

31.9. Short. Look at lemonade, lemonade, 34, short tattooed chef. Let's go ahead and pull this one up as well uh, although i, what i'll also do is also pull up to see what the retail activity on tattooed chef has been.

I believe it's been going down, but i haven't checked that one recently so i'll check that really quick uh. Let's do another one here. So that's uh. 33 short on tattooed chef, that's high! That's pretty! Well! Up there i mean out of nasdaq 3000 you're you're you're up there in terms of probably top 20 most shorted stocks once you're over 30 percent.

Oh my gosh retail buying for tattooed chef. There's like nothing, i mean there's more outflow the last time it ran up to 18 and 50 cents. There is a big outflow of retail buyers. Again, i can't show you this particular chart.

I wish i could, but i can't okay uh arc, invest. Let's do uh arc, so arc actually has been getting a lot of retail buying lately. Well, as soon as it fell under 100, we saw a surge of retail buying here, not very very heavy. I mean nowhere near the retail buying we've seen in the past, but way more retail.

Buying now arc invest is an interesting one. Arc invest is kind of in the middle, it's 15.25 percent short. We just had a massive retail exodus of about 95 million dollars now arc is an interesting one. This one has big retail outflows and then the next day it had a big now arc, invest is kind of in the middle 15.25 percent short and sure enough.

When i look at the retail flows over the last three months, we've had a lot of retail buyers actually leave. The price has dropped. So we've seen some bar charts stop, but we're also still seeing some negative bar charts to the downside, so you're kind of having like this mixed middle bag. There.

Let me look at another one fuv, so fuv is arcimoto. Arkamoto is sitting at 31.5 short and uh retail buying has plummeted, virtually no retail buying, like the last time we had some retail buying seriously was like june uh. If i go out, maybe to the two-year view here on arkamoto we're probably gon na zoom out a little bit more to oh yeah, bigger retail, buying and looks like june and in january, that's when we had our big retail buying, especially in june when we had This big sc in january, when we had this big skyrocketing of the price retail buyers, seem to come out when, when uh uh, when when uh, the price goes up, which would or the price goes down, but sometimes you buy the dip too early. So amc, 16.

67 percent short - it's actually in terms of retail, buying, had a lot of retail buying. Surprise, surprise: the short interest is much lower than corsair lemonade, tattooed, chef and arkamoto, where i kid you not where the retail buyers are not buying is where the hedges are. So if you're, looking for where the hedges are shorting right now, it appears to be corsair, lemonade, uh and i'll disclose my positions as well uh, arkamoto draftkings, is only 12 and uh and tattooed chef. That seems to be those are some of the biggest short interest plays right now, and i think we're going to see this this play out a little bit where, if we start getting, 10 runs on like tattoo chef, lemonade, corsair, uh and whatever else the other one Is shift technologies right then all of a sudden people are going to go.

Oh, it's a run starting to happen here. I think you could see a really quick short squeeze set up here and it's going to be cat and mouse game again. You're going to see the hedgies try to bail out of there and they'll cover, and you might see some pretty big runs. So i think there's a there's a potential here to make some big dollars on some of these.

Where, again, you have a very unique combination, low retail activity now but high short activity, it's no guarantees. I could be totally wrong, i'm disclosing all of my trades, to course, members, of course. As always, i will disclose to you that i do not hold any positions right now in tattoo chef lemonade or shift full disclosure. I hold nothing in those, at least i believe i don't hold anything in those, i'm pretty sure i don't hold anything in those.

Maybe i have like a little tiny little fraction left over somewhere, but it'd be a fraction uh, nothing intentional! I do have calls on corsair, though, and i do think that robin hood's going to move, but robin hood is a different kind of play from this strategy, because robin hood's not really shorted much so anyway, just some thoughts, it's what i'm calling the cat and mouse Game if we continue to see green like if we see green tomorrow and green thursday, and then we have christmas and people are all euphoric for the end of the year and we see some more green next week. This short squeeze could play out so pay attention to these again, no guarantees. I love you. I also love you if you check out that coupon code down below and check out those programs on building your ones, you won't regret it.

People absolutely love these, especially on private course. Member live streams i hold every day. The market is open thanks. So much for watching we'll see you soon.

Thanks, bye.
